XFX ATI Radeon HD5450 512 MB DDR2 VGA/DVI/HDMI Low-Profile PCI-Express Video Card HD545XYNH2

If you want to play newer games dont look here.

With that said if you are looking for card to use for general purpose and HTPC this card works great !!! In my case I wanted more system ram and it was cheaper to buy this card and turn off the on board graphics to free up the RAM I have been using..

Anyway a few things about this card....

1. It consumes less than 20 Watts and is fanless

2. Low power as in you do not need 400 or 500+ watt power supply to run this card, in fact this card would work good with many stock power supplies in consumer PC's

3. Windows experience with my setup running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 is 3.9 for Desktop and 5.8 for gaming graphics

I bought this for my new Windows 7 x64 HTPC and it works well. It's silent and low power. I was also able to output the HD audio streams on Blu-ray to my Denon 1911 receiver through HDMI, and then the video from the receiver to the TV, using ArcSoft Total Media Theater.

Using ATI Catalyst software, I also set up a profile to output 24P to my LG 60PK550 plasma TV, which properly processes 24P, and it seemed to work great - no jitter that I could see. I also made a profile for 60P which I use to watch TV. I can switch between them with a hotkey. I wish switching to 24P (and back) could be automatic for Blu-ray movies, however.

This card is not fast enough for fancy 3D games, so don't expect to play "sophisticated" 3D games on it.

For 2D use or home theater PC, I would recommend this card.

This little card is awesome for HTPC use - the HDMI outputs beautifully to my 42" philips HDTV. I have a PC in my bedroom - the card is ruuning two monitors, one to a 19" LCD using DVI and the other to my TV as mentioned before. I have not had any problems - it does not have a fan so it's quiet, and draws very little power so you don't need an extra connector from your PSU - plus since it's taking some of the load off the CPU it helps keep the entire PC running cool and quiet. You have to mess a bit with your system settings and the catalyst software because when you hook up a monitor / TV using HDMI it will run all system sound through HDMI only. In my case I only wanted movies to output sound through HDMI so I messed with it and got it to work as such. Great card, cheap and quiet.
